hmmmm, Ep 9 seems to suffer a bit from the Principle of Evil Marksmanship. They can't hit either main character despite being highly trained, outnumbering, surrounding and outgunning them..and the main characters are standing in a pile of fuel tanks. Conversely, Scarlett can pick em off while duel weilding handguns while being flung through the air upside down by an explosion of aforementioned fuel tanks.

Just caught EP 9 +10. In addition to praising Warren, I think respect should also be given to the animators, who have created the slick cartoon action sequences. I also love that little GI JOE title with the bullet SFX..Oh yeah another thing the sound production is awesome on this, just like Black Lagoon.

I agree that the production value all around on this has been surprisingly high. I was never a GI Joe fan, but this is just plain entertaining. Two things that stood out to me: I enjoy the fact that Joe vs. Cobra weapons fire is still color-coded, and when I read what strikes me as an Ellisian line like 'my cunning plan,' I never imagined it coming from someone with a NY accent. None of this detracts from my enjoyment of the series tho'.

I was never a GI Joe fan as a kid - the UK version of the GI Joe figure line was Action Man. I think we had a crappy Action Man cartoon in the 90's (Action Man the figure was cancelled and later returned - with rollerblades. They were cancelled again due to lack of interest, but now there is a new line of 10" (?) figures coming out sponsored by HM Forces.

Anyway, I've really enjoyed it, and without knowing much of the GI Joe back story, it looks like a couple of decades of GI Joe history have been resolved in the last few episodes.

I finally got around to watching 1 – 10. Great stuff; GI Joe is infinitely more interesting when death enter the equation as opposed to the whole show being a game of laser tag. I especially enjoyed some of the kooky dialogue from the Zartan, the Baroness and Destro; it reminded me of The Incredibles. I especially enjoyed the Snake Eyes/Stormshadow storyline.

I was sad and guffawed at the same time when zartan got shot in the back of the head...:(thats what you get for monologuing ya creepy bastard! Baroness made me very happy and I wanna make her costume now... :)
